About the information on this website:

​

In 2004, the Quiet Aircraft Association, QAA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded.  Engineers from Lockheed and soldiers from the U.S. Military, who were involved in the development and deployment of the YO-3A program, came together to preserve our history. This site reflects the efforts our group has accomplished over the last 20 years, and we continue to discover new information.

​

Part of our history has been archived by our first President, Dale Ross Stith (Lockheed Avionics), at both Texas Tech and the University of Dallas. The remainder of the historical material is currently with Kurt Olney, Crew Chief YO-3A 69-18007, Vista, CA. This material will also find its way to an archive.

​

If you are writing an article about the YO-3A airplanes and their prototypes, QT-2PC and Q-Star, I encourage you to contact Kurt Olney at k.olney2@cox.net. Kurt can supply you with accurate information, photos, documents, and other materials that will set your article or book apart.   

​

​The Quiet Aircraft Association generously encourages you to use the material on this website to help you tell the story of the YO-3A and make this aviation history more widely known. However, please respect copyrights and credit this website as a source. If uncertain, contact Kurt Olney k.olney2@cox.net
